Real World Bug Stamina CRT

Some insect pages have an 'Extremely High' stamina rating via being compared to the flea. Which I think shouldn't be the case considering how different the flea's lifestyle is compared to most other insects.

The Tarantula Hawk Wasp, Asian Giant Hornet, Yellowjacket, Beewolf, Executioner Wasp, Warrior Wasp, European Hornet, Velvet Ant, the Bald-Faced Hornet and the other wasps should get a stamina rating of 'Average, possibly High'. Wasps are capable of flying somewhat great distances without tiring, with some of the wasps listed capable of dragging/carrying things of considerable size whilst doing so. I think this should be warranted.

The Mantidfly, Giant Water Bug, and House Centipede should get an 'Unknown' stamina rating. We don't really have concrete stamina 'feats' for them iirc,

The Deathstalker scorpion should get an 'Extremely High' stamina rating, scorpions can survive underwater for 2 days And can seemingly survive a whole year without eating or drinking.

Both the Bullet Ant and the Driver Ant should get 'Unknown, possibly High' Rating. These ants work 24/7 for the hive, even if ant's usually take naps to get some rest while working, these naps only comprise of a couple of minutes so I this this should be warranted.
 
I disagree with the deathstalker rating, they're evolved to consume little energy over time, but this doesn't translate to them being able to physically exert themselves for long amounts of time too. For example, crocodiles can also stay months without food, but can only run for a few seconds at a time.

Rest is good

Understandable
Would the ratings get explanations or links/scans for why the ratings are as they are?
Yes
 
BTW you can still list the feat in the deathstalker's profile, it is noteworthy, but you gotta make it clear it can't necessarily fight for too long
 
Well, seems good to apply, as long as the reasoning for each rating is implemented for each profile.

So in the future, if changes are made again, the existing reasonings would be discussed and changed for accuracy sake.
